My trick (after ages trying) for good cinnamon rolls is an egg-heavy dough similar to a challah - soft white flour, eggs, butter, almost like cake but with yeast. Anything in the brioche family works. A couple of rises. Then roll, fill, and shape, and bake in a glass pie plate with the rolls touching each other after they've risen again. When they come out, brush the tops with milk (or butter or... well, probably lots of things would work) and cover with a towel or sheet of plastic to trap the steam.

It's that last step that keeps the crust from getting crunchy. :)

And yay for bread!
